भारत के विभिन्न राज्यों में जमीन नापने की मानक इकाइयां (Official Land Units by State)

Before modern GPS and satellite surveying, land revenue departments measured agricultural holdings using physical chains (Jarib), rods (Gatha or Latha), and paces (Karam). Because regional rulers established surveying rods based on local traditions, unit definitions diverged significantly across British presidencies and princely states:

Northern Gangetic Plains (UP & Bihar)

Based on the 55-yard Gunter chain. One Pucca Bigha equals a square of 55 yards × 55 yards = 3,025 square yards (27,225 square feet). In Western UP, the Kachha Bigha is one-third of this area (9,075 square feet).

Eastern India (Bengal & Assam)

Standardized under the Bengal Tenancy Act of 1885. One standard Bengal Bigha equals 120 feet × 120 feet = 14,400 square feet (1,600 square yards), divided into 20 Kathas of 720 square feet each.

Western India (Maharashtra & Gujarat)

Defined under the Bombay Land Revenue Code. One Guntha equals 33 feet × 33 feet = 1,089 square feet (121 square yards). Exactly 40 Gunthas constitute one Acre (43,560 square feet).

Southern Peninsula (Tamil Nadu & Kerala)

Calculated using the decimal Cent system. Exactly 100 Cents make one standard Acre. One Cent equals 435.6 square feet. In Chennai urban layouts, the Ground is 2,400 square feet (5.51 Cents).

Statutory Conveyancing Rule: Under Section 21 of the Registration Act, 1908 and the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, non-testamentary documents affecting immovable property must describe land by reference to a government map or survey. All modern registered deeds (Sale, Gift, Mortgage, Partition) must state boundaries and total parcel extent in metric units (Square Meters and Hectares). Regional customary units (Bigha, Guntha, Cent, Kanal) on RoR extracts serve historical identification and must be verified against certified survey map scales.

जमीन मापन एवं बीघा-एकड़ कैलकुलेटर से जुड़े अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

1. How many square feet are in one Bigha across different Indian states?

Bigha size varies by state gazette. In Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, one Pucca Bigha equals 27,225 square feet (3,025 square yards). In West Bengal, one standard Bigha is 14,400 square feet. In Madhya Pradesh, one Bigha is commonly 12,000 square feet. In Punjab and Haryana, one Bigha is 9,075 square feet (Kachha standard).

2. What is the difference between Cent, Decimal, and Dismil?

Cent, Decimal, and Dismil represent the exact same land area: 435.6 square feet (40.468 square meters), which is precisely 1/100th of an Acre. Cent is used in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana. Dismil and Decimal are used in Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and West Bengal.

3. How many Square Yards (Gaj) make one Acre and one Bigha?

One standard Acre equals 4,840 square yards (Gaj) or 43,560 square feet. One Pucca Bigha in North India equals 3,025 square yards (Gaj). Therefore, one Acre contains approximately 1.6 Pucca Bighas.

4. How many Gunthas are in one Acre in Maharashtra and Karnataka?

In Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Gujarat, one Acre contains exactly 40 Gunthas. Each Guntha equals 1,089 square feet (121 square yards or 101.17 square meters).

5. Why does the computerized Khatauni record land area in Hectares rather than Bighas?

Under the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP), the Government of India standardized all computerized Records of Rights (RoR) in the metric system using Hectares to four decimal places. One Hectare equals 10,000 square meters, 2.471 Acres, or 3.9537 Pucca Bighas.
